My male Dwarf Bali mates with my normal Jampea female? I just got my Jamp a month ago. She is thick and feeding well on colossl rats. I'm still letter her acclimate some more before I supject her to a photo shoot. The picture below is of the my male.
Ok here is my question.

By breeding these two will part of the clucth be dwarf tigers and normals or will they all be normal dwarfs?

Male - CBB 01 January hatching 6.5'
Female - WC Captive x5 months 7' (full lenght unknown)

Thank you for any info you guys can give.

All of the snakes will be normal appearing animals, no tigers. You need a tiger before that can happen.

But, I bet the babies would be very pretty!

I must be confused. I thought that if you bred normal to normal a small percentage of the clutch came out tiger? Or is that only with full size retics? I hope they breed. I'm interested to see what color/pattern of babies they would make.

You need to have the genetics. With out the tiger trait their can be no tigers. If you breed an albino with a normal you get hets that appear normal but have the albino recessive gene in them some where. So if you breed the two hets togeather you will get normals, hets, and albinos. That is how the recessive gene works. The tiger gene is co-dominant so it will be shown immediatly in some of the off spring from a tiger to normal breeding. No need to breed hets. This was just to give you a little overview. Genetics can be alot more difficult and will be, asuming you get into breeding. I hope this helps a little and there is alot more info out there if you are interested just search around....

Thanks,

Thank you. I knew the basics as far as like Albinism and such. Hmmmm I guess I'll have to pony up the cash for a dwarf tiger! lol
